A CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can
be dangerous. Even
if you bucWe up, your safety belts can’t do
their job when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front
of you. In a crash you could
go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the belt could go
up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at
your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.
Heated Seats (Optional)

The control is located on the outboard side of the front seats.

In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.

know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in between.
In many
of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In -
most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot! La

W%y Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes.
.
For example, if the
bike is going 10 mph
(16 km/h), so is the
child.
When the bike hits the
block, it stops. But the
child keeps going!

or the safety belts!
With safety
belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time
to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the
forces. That’s
why safety belts make such good sense.
